Question 1

Where should you insert the scope when evaluating velopharyngeal function?

Accepted Answer

A) Inferior meatus because it will come out on top of the velum

D) Middle meatus because it allows a view from above 
E) Superior meatus because its smaller size will keep the scope from "wiggling" around too much
